    摘要: An unloading system may be provided for use with ECMO and mechanical circulatory support (MCS) devices. The system may include a first cannula with a distal cannula body coupled to a proximal hub, the distal body having an inner diameter, where the first cannula is configured to slidably receive the MCS device. The system may include a second cannula having an outer diameter smaller than the outer diameter of the first cannula. The system may include a connector for splitting a flow of blood from the ECMO device to the first and second cannula. The system may be configured so a first total pressure drop of the first cannula with the MCS device in place in the first cannula with the second cannula connected to the connector is equal to a second total pressure drop of the first cannula without the MCS device in place in the first cannula.

    摘要: An improved catheter apparatus is disclosed for use with a hemostasis valve having a compression seal for temporarily creating a reduced inner diameter within a valve lumen of the valve. In at least one embodiment, the apparatus provides an elongate catheter having at least one protrusion radially extending outwardly from an outer surface of the catheter, the at least one protrusion having an outer diameter that is less than a neutral inner diameter of the valve lumen but greater than the reduced inner diameter of the valve lumen. During use of the apparatus, with the catheter positioned a distance within the valve lumen and the compression seal subsequently creating the reduced inner diameter within the valve lumen, the at least one protrusion contacts the compression seal and prevents the catheter from sliding out of the valve.

    摘要: A minimally invasive surgery (MIS) cannula that is manufactured primarily from a plastic material such that it is disposable and that serves as both a camera bridge, to which a camera may be coupled, and an instrument or tool cannula or port, through which an instrument or tool may be used. The cannula optionally includes one or more ports to which an irrigating fluid line may be attached to enhance site visibility and access and a camera receptacle to which a camera can be affixed. When the camera is not used, a cap may be attached to the cannula using the camera receptacle and may include a valve or seal assembly or the like through which an instrument or tool may be used. The cap and valve or seal assembly or the like may also accommodate a camera and arthroscope attachment. Otherwise, the cap may simply seal the cannula.
